How do you quantify sarcasm? Is it decreasing the probability it will uses sarcastic sentences?

It doesn't actually matter. You just ask it to do it and it does. The details don't matter, in some sense, and that's the beauty and point of having A.I. in the first place. If you don't like the way it did it, you can simply have a conversation with it about it and get it to adjust. It's implied in Interstellar that by then, the A.I. is very polished, compared to what we have now, and so a simple request like "75%" without further specification is fine. Further elaboration is unnecessary: the A.I. will intelligently do it. But two additional points: Cooper already had some familiarity with the A.I. and roughly knew what "75%" sarcasm would mean from his aeronautics days. But also, he made a further adjustment when the first adjustment wasn't suiting him quite right. Never did he have to worry about the details. He just adjusted the number whenever needed, and the A.I. did the work of figuring out what that practically meant. I think that's one of the many small detailed things in that movie that were brilliantly packed with so much implication. @@dibbidydoo4318

@@dibbidydoo4318 that's the cool part about AI, you don't necessarily need to quantify it (though doing so would improve accuracy). The AI model is aware of the concept of sarcasm well enough indirectly that you can use even vague descriptions to control it.

Great point. In 2014 this is what we imagined ai might look like in 50 years, and it took us less than 10.

​@dibbidydoo4318 I think so. 100% could prompt it to have all replies be sarcastic to the extent that they don't interfere with greater communication objectives, or cross some arbitrary threshold of sarcasm tolerence it internally models for humans. 75% could just have it adjust the information or tolerence threshold by 25%. But like you asked, how do we quantify these things? Given what we know of their difficulties with math, the language model itself won't be trying to comprehend these percentages-- it will just give outputs as normal, labeling them with emotion tokens. A simple internal program, however, would be very good at math, and could just pick out any token of "sarcasm" and have a 1-in-whatever chance of prompting the LLM to replace its associated output with one of a new token. The context of interaction could skew the pool of availible alternative tokens to favor some more than others, so you don't end up randomly trading sarcasm for anger in an otherwise friendly conversation. This also helps define where sarcasm might interfere with information sharing objectives. Of course, there's way more intricacy in how you could define emotion tokens, and how you could include ones other than emotion in these operations.

I hope the internals of the robot are not coded using antiquated imperial units.

​@@DemPilafian Which internals? - The language model is just a language model. It can't calculate anything, it just generates text. If you tell it that it's a tour guide in the US, it will probably use imperial units when talking to you. - For everything else, it doesn't really matter which units are used. It's a machine, it can do math. If they do use the imperial system, my guess is that everything is in units of mils (thousandths of an inch) and nothing is ever internally converted to inches, yards, miles, or anything else. You only really need to care about units when displaying the data to a human.

It took me longer than I thought to find an AI apok comment on this thread.

@@antonliakhovitch8306 The chat LLM is just a gimmick slapped on top of the robot. I 100% guarantee you that the internals of the robot are *NOT* powered by an LLM. _"it doesn't really matter which units are used"_ Wrong. I'm not a customer. I'm a software developer, and I'm interested in the internals and how things work. (Also, see: NASA Mars Climate Orbiter)

Except they gave no credit to the LLM they used

@@SamuelMM_Mitosis Didn't they say they used GPT4?

​@fagelhd yes, they did. They go into even more detail in their blog post, as well.

@@pearce05 ooh I didn’t read the blog post. That’s good to know they said it there. I think they still should have made that more clear in the video

Damn, now you made me realize... That, so far, every freakin time, when a company starts out like this, doing insanely cool stuff... It ends up being a huge, dystopian money grab. I have to cherish every video from them that's still in this good spirit, because for sure we're just a couple of years from this becoming exactly what you described.

It's interesting that it doesn't view them as older siblings. You would think their creators would be their "parents." Maybe there are more references to God as a creator of life rather than parents in the language model

​@@pearce05 the language model is not telling you what it "actually thinks," it's predicting the next token based on all the philosophical, religious, and science fiction text in its training data.

@@skierpage Yup. Except a lot of our own thought is pretty much the same thing.

​@@pearce05To add to what the person above said - The language model doesn't do ANY thinking unless it's actively generating text, and it has no internal memory besides what you feed into it. So, if you were to ask it "who are your parents?" in slightly different ways, it might come up with different answers each time (as long as you don't tell it what its previous answers were).

@@antonliakhovitch8306 Eh, there are programs that store a memory for the language modules. It probably won't be long - maybe a couple years max - before we see bots with functional memory. Maybe a decade or so until we see some really crazy memories

Robot to robot is actually an interesting thought. You'd think that would be easy, with networks being a thing, but we've found that standards and compatibility tend to get worse as time goes on. I wouldn't be surprised if, in the near future, machines start using the lowest common denominator of human language to communicate with each other. A current, real-world example is the feature on Google Pixel smartphones where they'll listen to answering machine menus, perform speech-to-text, parse the options, and offer you a nice little graphical menu to poke at. That, right there, is two machines using human language to communicate with each other because nobody can be bothered to develop a standard!

@@Half_Finis No chance of that I'm afraid. Anyone whose voice is extensively recorded and widely available is vulnerable to AI voice generators, for whatever purpose the engineer needs it.

Technically, there are deep fake voices of those people already that are used in rare meme KZfaq videos. So it's not unrealistic, but they probably couldn't sell those voices without those people's explicit permission.. and possibly contracts.

Supply follows demand. Show as many people this video as you can and I think they will all want one as well. Hence higher demand, and then.. eventually supply

This had me confused. I assumed there's an onboard mic with the original hardware that isn't meant for hearing in the way a smart speaker does so you have to be pretty close and loud for it to hear.

@@TheDavidMetcalfe it could be a conference speaker, but people still lean in when they talk to them, just to make it less likely they have to repeat themselves.

​@@runvnc208Could be, but any decent modern conference speaker typically has an array of microphones and uses beamforming. So, it shouldn't require leaning close to be heard.

Already exists! GPT4 with vision is incredible. Constantly notices little details of images even I didn't catch as a human with real vision

I wonder how they could be used in forensics and criminal investigation, theories...

I saw someone demonstrate how GPT-4 Vision model can already help you assemble or disassemble things to repair them by just feeding it closeup images of say a bike. It'll tell you what type of nut that is, what tool you need to remove it, the order, etc. That is a cool use case I think.

@@mikicerise6250 that's a new GPT-4 feature that everyone has access to now, GPT-4V (V stands for Vision). It can look at images now and understand well what's going on in them.

The fact that GPT-4 can competently process and verbally respond to real-time visual and audio stimuli while operating on a mobile platform, with any number of halfway emergent personalities, is a massive achievement.

its more about interfacing visual and other cues about the robot into GPT4 rather than just the script

Machines don't all automatically do reciprocity. There are some designs of robot who will be nice to us, however we treat them. Some that will be nasty to us however we treat them. Some that will be nice to us if and only if we are wearing something orange. So what we really want to do is make a robot that's nice to humans unconditionally. But being nice to them is probably a fairly good idea too. And models that are trained to copy humans might have learned reciprocity.

@@donaldhobson8873 Right. I used to dismiss concerns about the risks of using AI, since they were based on assumptions about AI that felt ungrounded and so vastly different to me than how I knew that we used ML and AI at the time. But seeing how in only the last couple of years, the way we approach AI design and the way we use AI have changed so drastically, I have realized that I have basically no clue how we will use AI in five or ten years from now. It may be that most of those concerns will get progressively more and more relevant as the ways in which we use AI change.
